A vegan and organic moisturizer that's also a lightweight locking gel for ALL loc hairstyles and types no matter the color, size, or age. However, you will need to choose one of the best locking gel options for your hair if you want to avoid side effects like flaking, thinning, or worse, getting your hair removed from the roots. Hair care vlogger Tiana Alexandra says, “There wasn’t any white residue when I applied the product in my hair. Since most locking gels are designed to be removed through washing, the gel will also be removed each time you wash.When you have dreadlocks, you should be very careful while using hair products because they might stay in your hair and leave a residue.

Wax, on the other hand, takes ages to wash off and even then leaves heavy residue behind which is fine if you’re home all day but far from ideal if you have outdoor commitments. The essential oils that you will be using to twist your hair are ylang-ylang, argan oil, and lavender. For those with looser hair textures, braids (or plaits) may be the preferred introductory loc style because they help to minimize unraveling during the early loc stages, especially when the hair is damp. When choosing the best locking gel for your hair, you want to make sure it holds, moisturizes, and doesn’t leave a lot of residues to avoid flaking.Simply take better care of your hair before using an item like this, which isn’t really the product’s fault.

Lavender oil, rosemary oil, and olive oil have all been shown to be powerful allies in the fight for stronger strands, so be on the lookout for products that include these ingredients. A little goes a long way for this locking gel so you only have to take a minimal amount of product while applying it to your hair. After thoroughly reviewing all of the products in our guide, and weighing the pros and cons of each, we’ve come to the conclusion that the Bronner Brothers Firm Locking Gel is the best product all round in terms of providing your locs with optimum hold while causing no build up, making hair smooth and silky. A locking gel might be a good option if you are looking for a product that is lighter than a hair wax.

My only reservation is that it leaves a bit of residue and only a little product was left after just one use.
